WOW! I'd love to have that to put in my 1870's kitchen. I have lots of wall cabinets from 1938, but free standing cupboards are great in old kitchens. I really hope the person who got it uses it well.

I know how it feels to flatline in the antique world. I love to go to every place I see to search for treasures. I especially love furniture. Alas, I am forbidden to purchase any more furniture.

Very nice. It's a keeper !

Never uncapped a newel post though. When I was but a wee child, my daddy found great treasures hidden in the walls of o...

Blueprints............can be difficult to locate. I found out something strange about blueprints and original owners of the houses.
